If you’d like to donate a toy, item of clothing, or gift card, please sign out an ornament from the tree in the front office by recording the code in the log book next to the tree. Please wrap the gift in a gift bag or re-sealable gift box, securely attach the ornament to the gift, and return the gift to the main office, Mrs. Baer, or Ms. Manning by Thursday, December 13. Thanks so much for your support!
